Congrats on being included Jeff.
BTW, signatures are for email. Not a fan of them in comments.
Thanks for including The B2B Social Media Book on this list. Kipp and I felt it was time to provide a detailed approach for B2B marketers who need to understand how social media can make a difference in their organizations. If you start with lead generation, which creates revenue, it becomes easier to roll out other social media initiatives across a company.

very interesting. But I’ve a question. Do you know any book talking about the link between Brand equity and on-line marketing. That is to say how to build brand equity through I-marketing
Great info! Establishing a base in an online marketing business is tough but not impossible. Just like an offline business, getting customers is quite a tough job. Though, plenty of methods of advertising and marketing are available that drive high-quality traffic, conversions depend solely on the interest of the customers and the way things are presented to them.
